RedR UK's 'Security Week', 19 - 23March 2012
RedR's Security Week is a chance for humanitarian managers and practitioners to learn about the most cutting edge and important security issues facing the humanitarian sector. Five free-standing yet interlinking days, aimed at Security Managers, HR Managers, Senior Managers, and experienced field staff.
In particular, aimed at HR and Senior Management level, RedR will be hosting a full day learning workshop examining the Legal Liability of international NGOs towards their staff. The day is to be based around recently published research by Geneva-based Security Management Initiative, and will be co-facilitated by London-based barrister Ed Kemp, who is an expert on the law of negligence for international aid agencies.
The event will also spend a day looking at Abduction and Kidnap, co-facilitated by Jon James and Camilla Carr who were both kidnapped and held for 14 months in Chechnya. They will help us look at some of the tools they used to survive the different phases of their ordeal.
Another day will be devoted to Security & Stress, how managers can help to ensure staff are as psychologically resilient as possible when we send them to difficult places to work. There will be some discussion around mainstreaming psychological support into our security management and how we as managers can achieve this. Facilitated by Mark Snelling from InterHealth.
The other two days offers the chance for NGOs to gather together to discuss issues of concern with experts in their respective fields, looking at Security & Technology and Gender as a Security Issue. The different days will allow participants to examine how they keep staff safe in the field, and what the results may be if they are unable to provide for their safety.
